FREUD THE CREATOR OF PSYCHOANALYSIS I conceive the information, this knowledge and I really

enjoyed this reading as an explicit introduction and basic theoretical foundations of Sigmund
Freud's theory, as we know Freud has been motivation since thanks to him today we have
psychoanalysis at hand. being very dedicated to his beliefs, since they led him to obtain knowledge
that he shared with his acquaintances, which helped him to continue developing psychoanalysis
and today we continue to develop it. As we know, Freud was a tireless worker and all his doctrines
are marked by the desire to understand the suffering of human beings. The Freudian conception of
mental life can be formalized, in fact, in an elementary scheme. Sigmund Freud was a man who
caused a revolution in the clinical and psychiatric psychology since, thanks to his projects, he
managed to advance psychology and its branches, leaving great contributions in the field of
psychology, and although he died at the age of 83, he left a whole story to listen to, its beginnings
began when He opened his own office in Vienna and his first work is considered the founder of
psychoanalysis whose name is the interpretation of dreams. Freud teaches us that his works are
schemes summarized in an astonishing synthesis of the logic of Freud's texts as a whole, from the
project of a psychology for neurologists, which was published in 1895 to his last work, a scheme of
psychoanalysis written in 1938 in his works. Freud teaches us the wonderful pleasure of thinking
and understanding our psychic functioning. Our construction is the corrected version of an already
classic conceptual model used by 19th century neurophysiology to explain the circulation of the
nervous flow called the reflex arc, the general movement of the psyche to obey this principle
oriented to the total discharge of tension. It does not exhaust itself, during our life cycle we are in
constant tension. In psychoanalysis it is named after the principle of displeasure - pleasure, we call
it displeasure - pleasure because it states that the psyche is always under tension, the excitement
is always of internal origin and never external.

This representative, charged for the first time, has the peculiarity of remaining permanently
excited and of functioning like a battery that boils without interruption, maintaining in the device a
high level of tension that the subject experiences painfully upon discharge, this Freud called
displeasure, displeasure means maintenance or increase of tension and pleasure, suppression of
tension. The psyche cannot operate like the nervous system, resolving excitement through an
immediate motor response capable of evacuating tension. Well no, the psyche cannot respond to
excitation. The energy in the psyche, every response is inevitably metaphorical, and the discharge
is inevitably partial, therefore the psyche cannot respond to excitation. But there is a third reason,
the most important and the most interesting for us, which explains why the psyche is always
under tension. The intervention of a decisive factor that Freud called repression. If we figure
repression as a vertical bar that divides our scheme into two parts, the intermediate network is
composed in the following way, certain representatives that we gather in a majority group located
to the left of the bar, are very charged with energy and are connected in such a way that they
constitute the shortest and fastest path to achieve the download. Sometimes they are organized in
the manner of a cluster and bring together all the energy in a single representative. Both systems
pursue discharge, that is, pleasure, but while the first tends toward absolute pleasure and only
obtains partial pleasure, the second only seeks to have tempered pleasure. With this in mind, we
can ask ourselves... what is repression? It is a thickening of energy, an energetic protective layer
that prevents the passage of unconscious contents to the preconceived. …After reading this work I
wonder what encourages me to continue… But that is something that throughout my career I will
be able to understand. After approaching the work, the pleasure of reading Freud, I have
understood a lot about him but now I would like to speak a little. Little of his other work, dreams
and their link with Hades, in this work not only is it about the conception of dreams in Freud, but it
also establishes the point until dreams can come. Dreams in ancient times were located in Hades,
and the way in which the ancients conceived dreams and their interpretations is also indicated.
From there, the distance that Freud takes with respect to dreams and his method of interpretation
is presented. After understanding the relationship of dreams with hades and the unconscious, the
purpose is now to critically review the relationship between dreams and hades. We know that
since time immemorial, dreams have been of great importance in the imagination, for us people it
is a dreamlike experience, often enigmatic and disconcerting, and they have been an object of
interpretation in various cultures. According to Heraclitus, through breathing this divine reason we
become intelligent; We forget while we sleep, but we regain our senses when we wake up
because when we are asleep during sleep, the channels of perception separate our mind from its
kinship with the surrounding one, preserving its only connection through the breathing as if it
were a species of root and for this reason it loses the memory capacity that it previously had more
during wakefulness, it looks out again through its perceptual channels as if they were windows
and, making contact with the surroundings, it clothes itself with its power of reason. From this
passage, especially its final part, emerges the most important argument that Otto uses to go
against the direct link between dreams and Greek myths that were only experienced by the
Greeks. Freud's conception of dreams in the interpretation of dreams words more words less than
dreams is a psychic product provided with meaning itself, to be more precise a disguised
fulfillment of a desire that has been sophisticated or repressed this means that a certain form of
ordering is dispersed within a psychic locality and is replaced by another form of ordering, which
establishes its residence in another place and among whose characteristics are those of being
alien to consciousness and unrecognizable to the dreamer. Apropos of the topic, in the ninth
lesson Freud (1916) tells us that dream disfigurement is directly proportional to two factors: on
the one hand, it will be greater, while the desires when censored will be worse, depending on the
more the censorship is demanded, the greater the rigidity with which it manifests itself. First of all,
it is important to clarify that the desire is presented as imaginary fulfilled, that is; As a fantasized
scene and as a way of hallucinating the memories of that mythical satisfaction in the second place,
they can be assumed as an energy that takes displeasure as its starting point and leads towards
pleasure. Third, desires are always ready to emerge and are found in the form of repression of
affect. Freud not only proposes that the dream is an operation of the dreamer, but also that the
dreamer has a knowledge base of knowing and not knowing. Why did they believe that dreams
were connected to Hades? Previously, in many cultures, including ancient Greece, dreams were
believed to be a channel of communication with the divine realms and the deceased. Hades was
particularly considered the place where souls resided after death.

death before the Greeks believed that dreams were messages from the Gods that were reflected
in dreams and they believed that these meant guidance or warnings or comfort to the living. The
connection between dreams and hades represents a fascinating bridge between ancient
mythology and modern psychological understanding. I would like to address a little about the
theory of repression and as a common thread of the psychoanalytic theory, the work that was
created by Freud. In his Contribution to the History of the Psychoanalytic Movement (1994) Freud
declared that the doctrine of repression is the fundamental pillar on which psychoanalysis rests.
Historically, the concept of repression goes back to the very beginnings of psychoanalysis {Freud's
bibliography} was about the psychic mechanism of phenomena. Freud insisted that without a
doubt he had conceived this doctrine independently. Freud's writings tell several stories about
how the discovery occurred, for example, in his studies on hysteria, all of them highlight that the
concept of repression was imperatively suggested by the clinical phenomenon of resistance; which
in turn came to light as a result of a technical innovation: the abandonment of hypnosis in the
cathartic treatment of hysteria. In the story included in the (studies on hysteria) the word used to
describe the process is not actually repression but defense. The nature of the driving force that
sets repression in motion was a constant and a problem for Freud; although in this work he barely
alludes to what was raised, in particular the question about the link between repression and
sexual life. The distinction between repression and denial of external reality or part of it by the ego
was first examined externally in the article on fetishism. Under the influence of the study of
psychoneuroses, which puts before substantial effects of repression in our eyes, we tend to
overestimate its psychological content and easily forget that repression does not prevent the
agency representing the drive from continuing to exist. But if we now turn to the opposite aspect,
we see that it is not even true that repression keeps all the offspring of the repressed away from
the consciousness, if they have distanced themselves sufficiently from the repressed
representative, whether because of the disfigurements they adopted, or because of the number of
intermediate links. that were interspersed, have, without further ado, easy access to the
conscious. It is clear that speculation no longer has any place here, and must be replaced by
careful analysis of the results of repression. The process that has become a symptom due to
repression now affirms its existence outside the goic organization and independently of it, from
this journey we maintain the possibility of accounting for the way psychoanalysis works.
